Activity:
Here you will find the documents for the SCIM-C activity. Please open the documents in your group, as you will not yet have any access to the other documents. When most of the documents have been analyzed, you will have access for everyone to be able to view the complete set in order to corroborate inferences.
You will be given a group number. Please click on the link corresponding to your group number, and follow the directions on that page.
Documents in total (shared after SCIM is finished):
Once you have created your SCIM-C analysis of the documents, answering the guiding question, go build your Museum Box.
Group 2
The documents we examined were all from the World War II period. Many of them were in the US, but some were in war zones. It is evident that many goods had to be rationed due to scarity and their use in the war effort. For example, nylon was needed for parachutes and so nylon stockings were not available. Americans were encouraged to provide for themselves as in the example of the Victory Gardens. On US soil there was a outbreak of distrust towards Japanese Americans as seen in the holding camps and curfew orders. In the 1940's people did not yet know the dangers of cigarette smoking. Society changed for women as they went to work and popularized wearing slacks.
